Obama has the Occupy Wall Street Movement in his hip pocket. Glenn Beck says it's not over. O'Reilly says it's over. I'm with O'Reilly. Stick a fork in the Occupy Wall Street Movement. It's done.
Gracie Allen, when asked by George Burns, at the end of Burns and Allen, "Gracie, how do you know
when to to take the roast out of the oven?" replied, "I have two roasts. A big one and a small one. When the small one's burned, the big one's done."

It's as stupid as the 'Super-Committee' in Washington. it was never going to succeed either. Too many spoiled, pampered brats whining at the table. Athens may simply be a prelude to Washington. The MSM can give any good spin on the news that they can dream up.. But nothing is improving. Not as long as we have the leadership that we have in Washington. Socialism/opportunity is the mantra of the day...and it's a loser. Washington needs to cut it's power and just get out of our way. The private sector will save America..if D.C. grows up!

Tea Party at fault?

Hmmmm.....All talk, all blather, all bloviation...time went by and nothing was accomplished, other than the debt limit was increased while the Tea Party succeeded in making the debt limit the object of everyone's attention in the WORLD.

Mission NOT accomplished.

Capiche?

Greece is a microcosm of what will happen here if we stay on our present coarse. The snowball is about to roll for the last time.

Don't believe this can't happen here. OWS has many anarchists in its leadership and throughout its ranks.

The Occupy crowd was out and about in response to what they believe others have undeservedly.
Imagine the same people if the issue was that something had been taken away from THEM.

Right, and the people are too lazy to read a few good books on economics so that they
could understand that there are no free lunch.

When you raise people from birth to believe that they deserve whatever they want, the day will come when they don't get it, and rage and violence ensue. Greece is doomed, and it will bring down the EU, followed by the US and Canada in turn. The US will fail soon anyway all by itself, drowned in a sea of debt.

Socialist Dems., as we all know, are godless creatures, and have been for many years.
They're more like vampires, sucking the blood out of our Country.

They have destroyed the middle class, and for what? Dictatorial Power, pure and simple.
